Secretary Proctor Thinks the Service Demands an Assistant in His Office. The Proposed Prosecntions by Civil-,. Service Commission. Washesgtoh, Nov. 1. The report of General O. O. Howard, commanding the division of the Atlantic, to the adjutant general for the year ended September 30. 18S9, calls attention, to the lack of armament of nearly all leacoast stations. "Our needs in this direction," ho says, "have been so . often ami recently reported by my predecessors that I deem it useless to more than call attention to the subject again, The time has undoubtedly come when some positive action in the matter of permanent defenses is demanded. "In this connection the subject of high explosives should be discussed." He calls aitention-to "Americanite," the invention of a young Russian, formerly botanist of the Point Barrow expedition, as the safest and best explosive the general knows of. 1 1 has been adopted by the Standard Oil company for "shooting" its wells. "With such a powerful agent the problem of coast defense is resolved almost into one of range, and our great seaboard cities can be made comparatively safe without excessive expenditure." On the subject of desertions General Howard says : "For the past four years the percentage of desertions in our army has increased - from 8 to V2 per cent., and this despite 1 earnest efforts made to discover the causes and apply the remedies.- Doubtless the causes are many, such as have been theoretically and (variously stated. It is scarcely possible to so adjust the workings of a military institution, necessarily autocratic, ' that each subordinate shall feel that its ethics and conduct are identical with those that govern in civil life. That desertions can ever be practically eliminated from the army without seriously impairing its efficiency I doubt, but this crime can and Should be greatly - reduced. It is my belief that in the majority of cases the reasons which cause men to desert are frivolous and are as varied as the different temperamentsrof the deserters. Were apprehension and pun- ! ishment made as certain for this offense - as for petty crimes in civil Hie, none but serious reasons would cause men to commit an act the result of which terminates in almost certain penal servitude. As it is the chances of punishments are altogether too few. I repeat my former recommendation for an increase in the reward offered for the apprehension of deserters and a change in the law which will enable at least all civil officers of the government, states and territory, to arrest and confine this class of offenders. To remove all real cause of discontent, shorten the first - term of enlistment to two or three ytars, and institute some system by which men in emergency may sever their connection with the service without dishonor to. themselves and with justice to the government. It ' might tte-yen io"lipiUve"Ttigraaon irr-' crease or at least give it more variety- though I believe the soldiers are well fed and little dissatisfaction arises from the poorness of food.y Assets and Liabilities of the Treasury.

L Secretary Proctor will renew the recommendation of his predecessors in his forthcoming annual re-p irt. that congress provide for the appointment of an assistant secretary of war. The department is one of the largest of the government, there being over 1500 employes in this city and over 11,000 throughout the country. At present, whenever the secretary leaves the city, the president designates an acting secretary of war, n -pally either General Schotield or the head of one of - the bureaus. It t ins happens in the latter case that some of the otlicers of the army are required to report to a subordinate and among them there is a fueling that they wouid ratnc.r have a civilian iu the office. In the pavy the preponderance of feeling is different". The officers of that arm ui tlie service, it is said, prefer to see the Ciuet of the bureau oi navigation, who is only a commodore, or even a captain, acting as secretary in the absence of the regularly appointed head of the department to having a civilian in the chair, and therefore oppose tbe suggestion that congress provide for the appointment of a permanent assistant secretary. It is said that this feeling among naval officers has bad sufficient influence with Secretary Tracy to eau.te him to change bis mind since he entered the office last March, whereas, then he was impressed with the necessity of having an assistant secretary, he will make no such a recommendation.

The secretary of the navy today awarded to Harrison Lor-ing of Boston the contract for constructing cruiser eleven of 2000 tons displacement for 1074.000, to be completed in two and one-half years from today. When the bids were opened at the department last Saturday, Mr. Loring and N. J. rainier of New York were tied and the delay in awarding the contract has been caused by the desire of tbe secretary to let them adjust the matter between them. As the other two cruisers, numbers nine and ten, were given to the Columbian iron-works of Baltimore there was but one left and it was necessary that the contract should be given to one party in order that there might be an individual responsibility. The question was settled this morning by the receipt of a letter signed by both bidders, stating that they had agreed that Mr. Lorinu should have the contract. The impression around the department is that the firms have reached an agreement whereby Loring will build the hull and Palmer &" Co. tbe machinery. But the latter will not be recognized by the government. They Want More Evidence. Washington, Nov. 1. Tbe question of the prosecution of persons connected with the sending of circulars requesting political contributions to officials of the departments at Washington was again considered by the civil-service commission at its meeting held for that purpose today. All the evidence of the alleged violations of the law already in possession of the commission was considered. Thecommis-sion is waiting for further evidence on the subject. Should this be forthcoming and the names of those receiving the circular be furnished to the commission, those persons will be brought before the commission and questioned concerning the same. Then, if the commission is satisfied that it has possession of enough evidence to warrant its bringing the case before the district attorney, that action will be taken. A Boom in Pensions. Washington, Nov. 1. Since Commissioner Banui took bold of the pension bureau there has been a rush of applications to the record and pension division of tbe war office for records in support of pension claims. Yesterday Captain Ains-worth received from the pension bureau 1047 calls, and from the auditor's office 600. Discussing Dakota. Washington, Nov. 1.

Damning: Evidence Adduced Against Martin Enrke, One of the Cronin Suspects. He is Positively Identified by Both of tbe Carlsons as the Man Who Eented Cottage. Several Dramatic Scenes in Court "With Luther Lafflin Mills. Chicago, Nov. 1. Martin McHale, carpet layer, was the first witness in the Cronin trial this morning. He testified that the carpet tought by "J. B. Simonds" in February last, was laid by him (the witness) ou the floor of a room at 117 Clark street. Tbe witness was then shown a piece of carpet, presumably from the Carlson cottage, and he identified it as identical in pattern with that which he laid in the Clark street room. After the shipping clerk, delivery man and other employes of Keveis had testified, the first important witness of the prosecution, Annie Carlson, was placed on the stand. The young woman began tier testimony very timidly. After a few questions she became so nervous that her replies were almost inaudible. It frequently became necessary for the court stenographer to repeatedly allude to the bareiy uttered sentences which leil irom her lips. The audience in the court-room, assuming that revelations of the most startling character were being made, craned their necks in the direction of the witness stand. The excitement became intense as Mr. .Mills put the next question. The witness then went on to state -how, on March 20. while she was at the Carlsons, a man came to rent the cottage which stood near the house. He said his sister was to keep house for him, and that he had some furniture he wanted to move in at once. He gave his name as Frank Williams. "Mrs. Carlson," asked tue lawyer, "do you see that stranger in the court room now?" Yes, sir." "Will you point himout to tbe jury?" "There he is" (pointing directly to Martin Burke). "Do you mean Martin Burke, that nun?" continued Mr. Mills, pointing to Burke again. "Yes," replied the witness, airti that ended her examination. Mr. Forrest then cross-examined the witness at great length, going into all the details of her movements and her visits to the Carlson house. She testified that she had never seen Burke from the day he entered the cottage until a few rinvs aco, when she came into the court-room for the purpose of identilying him. Yet she recognized h'tu immediately. His eyrs, hair and mouth, and his peculiar way" of looking, she said, made a great impression upon her, and she knew him at once. Mr. Forrest made the witness rook away from Burke and at the jury and then describe his features and the color of his hair. This she did. Mr. Forrest, for the defense, raised the question as to whether this testimony was applicable to any other one of the defendants except Burke. The court decided that that was a oues- riii which wouid have to be decided by the suusequeni aeveiopments ot the trial. Jonas Carlson, the owner of the cottage, was the next witness. He corroborated the testimony of his daughter-in-law about the stranger coming to rent the cottage. The witness then said: He asked nie if it was my house, as he wanted to rent it. I'told him yes. He said let me see the house, and we walked over to it and I took the keys and went up to the house with him. We entered by the back door and he looked around and said there were six rooms, "How much do you ask for it'" I said $12 a month. He said. "Can you take eleven 7" "No, I can not " I said. "I will give you the money now." he said. Then l.got the money and I gave him a receipt when we went back to the other house. Carlson went on toaay that the stranger, who gave tne name of Frank Wiiiiauis. said that he bad three brothers and his sistr was to come from Baltimore to keep house for tnein. He had bought the furniture and it would arrive in two or three days. The stranger then took the key. The witness said he had met and talked with O'Sullivan, one of the defendants, many limes. O'Sullivan lived in the immediate vicinity. At this point a recess was taken. - At the opening of the afternoon session Joseph L. Brouse, a photographer, took the witness stand and identified a photograph shown him as one taken by him. It was a picture of the Carlson cotlage and O'tfuiiivan's house and ice-house. It was placed in evidence. John C. McJJavitt, a clerk in the criminal court, identified a diagram made by him of the neighborhood of the Carlson cottage and of the cottage itself, the size and location of which rooms he described. It was admitted in evidence. Jonas Carlson was then recalled, and his testimony on behalf of the slate was continued. He said that the stranger, after renting the cottage, walked across lots to O'culiivan's stable, where he met O'Sullivan and talked with him. Witness heard Burke say to O'Sullivan, "The cottage is rented." Next time witness saw Burke was at about 5 o'clock on tlie afternoon of Mav 4. a few hours before Dr. Cronin was murdered. He stood on the front steps of the cottage. At 7 o,'ctock that night the witness heard two men talking in the cottage. They were talking "in a hard voice," as Carlson expressed lt.In April the witness had a conversation with O'Sullivan about the men who had rented the cottage. O'Sullivan told hini that he knew one "of the men, that he was "ail right" and that lie would pay the rent when due. Ou May 8 Carlson had another conversation with O. Sullivan, in which he told O'Sullivan that he knew the cottage was vacant. O'Sullivan remarked that he was having hard luck with his cottage. The letter spoken of and its envelope were identified. On May 20 the witness entered the bloodstained cottage, he said, and proceeded to describe tbe conditions there apparent. The examination o: this witness had been prosaic enough up to this point. It continued as follows: Q. How many times altogether did you see tbe man calling himself Frank Williams? A. Three limes. Q. That is iu the neighborhood of where you lived on Ashland "avenue? A. Only two times there. Q. You saw him once besides those two times? A. Y'es, sir. At this point in tbe examination Mr. Mills paused for a moment, as if realizing that a crisis in the examination was near at hand. Leaning slightly forward, he pnt the momentous question to the witness, "1 will ask you if you see that man now?" A sudden hush fell upon the court and in the midst of the profound silence which followed Mr. Mills's interrogation, the old man in tbe witness chair sat apparently unmoved, as the audience breathlessly awaited his answer. Slowly raising his head, the witness permitted his glance to travel first over the group of lawyers and reporters immediately at his feet and thence in a bewildered way to the back of the court, in an endeavor to pick out from those before him the man he wanted. Evidently fearful that his witness might be unable to identify the man sought iu the densely-packed court-room. Mr. Mills came to his assistance. Extending his hand he indii ated the back of the courtroom and inviwu tue witness to step down and pick out the man whom he wished to identify. ".Look bacs: of the lawyers, Mr. Carlson," said Mr. Mills as the old man advanced with a hesitating step and scanned the iaces ot the counsel for the de.euse. He had hardly uttered the words when the witness, walking straight up to the defendant. Martin Burke, shook his hat at him and exclaimed: "That's the man." Despite his utmost efforts to appear unconcerned it was evident that Burke realized the damaging nature of Mr. Carlson's testimony. Mr. "Mills was not slow to clinch his advantage. "Is that the man," asked Mr. Milis indicating Martin Burke, "who called himself Frank Williams?" "Yes, sir." said the witness promptly. John Garrety, a teamster, testified that about four years ago Coughlin wanted to see Major Samson ; that he wanted a man "slugged" or disfigured for life; if he was killed it would not make any difference. On cross-examination counsel for the defense sought to show that the witness had a grudge against Coughlin. He denied this. Court then adjourned till tomorrow. Burke Tells How the Doctor Met Bis Death. Chicago, Nov. 1. The Journal tonight says: A dispatch from Winnipeg states that Assistant State's Attorney Baker has obtained from Convict Gillette the story of the murder as told him by Burke. According to the story Gillette and Burke were frequently together in the Winnipeg jail, ana unaole to keep his secret Burke related it iu detail. Burke told him that the murder was committed by him (Burke), Dan Coughlin, Pat Cooney, a man of the name oi L't unis, and a man whoe nauie Gillette can not recall. Another man, employed by McGiimis, a fish and oys,)f man on West Pandolph street, near Clie Haymarket, was to have assisted in the murder, but he backed out. The deed wae done with clubs, and after the doctor was dead his face was pounded out of sliape to prevent recognition. The boily was taken to tbe lake, where the murdeiers expected to find a rowboat, but none was there and the body was thrown into the lake. The water was shallow and the waves washed it up on the beach. It was then decided to take it to a catch-basin, which was done. Burke said that the biood money was paid in a lump by an attorney having au office over Lazarus Silverman's bank. The mo-live ot the murder was the Defrayal of the order's secrets bv the doctor and his informing ou a man who was short in his ac-. counts. To a Journal reporter Mr. McGinnis professed himself ignorant of anybody working for him thai could possibly be connected ttiih the conspiracy unless it were Joseph Kouen, one ot me iuuicted jury bnbers. "He worked for me all last season," he added, "leaving the latter part of April. I never knew much about bim, hut inasmuch as he was in that crooked jury work 1 w..uid not be surprised if he were connected wilh tiie conspiracy." Ji d. e Longentcker laughed at the story. "Nolhiug in it," he said. "All that Gillette knows I have locked in my safe." "V hat's your story ?" "1 cau't led yet." "Is it like this one ?" "No." " V ill Gillette be brought here to testify ?" "No j we can't get huts.'' "Would you have him if you could ?" "Oh, possibly ; though he doesn't amount to mucu." Attorney Ingham declared the tale a wild and woolly one. He lor some time refused to believe that it had not been written in Chicago and publishedasadispatch. When assured that it came straight irum Winnipeg he said it reliecied credit on the imas-inaiiou of the correspondent, but that it bad no firmer foundation, 'i he Jury Briber" Driven Out ofBusiness. Chicago, Nov. 1. Sylvester E. Brown.J1 the business partner of M. S. ivu vanaupli, I oneoi t4Mueauudr indicloieut for trying to bribe the Cronin juiy, nas as&ed lor an accounting and dissolution of partnership. He also asks that a receiver be appointed to take charge of theiirm's affairs. Brown says the when , Ilia partner was arrested and indic oed for trying to "fix" tbe jury all tue contracts the firm had on hand we e canci ljd, and they have lound it to be i.-potsiule to make any contracts since on account, of the prejudice which the indictment of tne junior member of the firm has caused. Brown describes. his partner as a "surly, unsociable and desperate man," who would be likely to take reprisals on account of his action in bringing the suit unless restrained by the court. Judge Jamieson issued an injunction restraining Kavanaugh from collecting debts due the firm, or in any way interfering with its business. The matier of tbe appointment of a receiver was brought before Judge Jaruic3on today, but it was contiuutd uutil tomorrow morning. ' THANKSGIVING i'KOCi-AJIATION.

We have no room for European forces here; the United Stales would never allow Spain or any other country to attempt it, and they would follow in the footsteps of MhXimillian. Let it be arranged here on this hemisphere by an arbitration board that no lepubiic should go to war with a sister republic.

It seems the government of the United States had ulaced them in a position by this excursion such as enabled the delegates to go through the country, conducted by the car of liberty, gathering everywhere impressions which would be ineti'acable in their hea tsand which had been augmented and increased considerably upon arrival in this city where we have been received with such cordiality and heaitiness. It wouid be impossible lor me to say bow much we have seen aud contemplated everywhere, but what has tom-hed lue most deeply was that Lp3n i r ival here we were first taken to (he Cani.ol, the majesty of which we were enabled to contemplate, and then to the humble abode recently lelt by tue citizen who now occupies the presidential chair of tnis republic." Thomas II. Nelson, who had been in diplomatic missions in Spanish slates, biiefiy welcomed tbe visitors and assured Ihem that ttiey were now in a Slate that stood highest and first in all that constitutes the highest civilization.

Senor Zegarra of Pern spoke as follows: "We have been traveling and we felt confident that there was nothing more new or grand in store for us ou this trip, bnt when we came to Indianapolis we find how great our mistake was, and lind so many things to admire; such a just proportion between your great material improvements aud great qualities of the heart that we have to bow respectfully and gracefully before such a happy and prosperous community. The impressions we have experienced will be inefi'ueabie in our memory."Senor Alphonso, delegate from Chili, said that he was profoundly gratef ul for the Cordial and fraternal manner in which the delegates had been received. They had been treated as an elder sister would treat a younger one who locked to her for support and affection. He and his colleagues would never forget that in this laud of America they had been treated as Americans. Applause. Senor Velardo of Bolivia said that the great thought of American union was nothing but the consequence of lessons taught by nature itself. He hoped that the unity which nature bad realized would be realized commercially and socially, and in such a union of independence and profound allection among the nations of America as would make of them one whole bodv. Signor Casteliamos of Salvador invited all his colleagues to drink to the welfare1 and prosperity of Indiana. Signor i'erazi of Venezuela said he and his colleagues had been obliged, since beginning this trip, to change all previous conception of this country. In cotton-mills they had been told they could weave a belt to compass the world;, in a library they bad been told there were forty miles of shelves. "We can not conceive of such standards of measuring and we must learn anew." Laughter. Indiana, as a name, he believed covered all that typifies aud makes this republic great. Delegate Henderson spoke of the importance of establishing railroad communication with Central and South America, and again suggested that it might be done by land prants. Our Canadian friends were a Bttle jealous, but when we had completed this railroad they would ask to participate in the prosperity enjoyed by their Southern neighbors. This would unite the snows of the South with the snows of the North. Then would follow an extension of the railroad through to Vlaska, and tbe day was coining when it might go from Brazil to London, without going to sea. The wool of the Argentine itepublic would not come in competition with onr own, but if it does, we will arrange to take it free if they will agree to take it back free when we manufacture it.

(ST."!!- i. i ESTABLISHED 1911. VOL.L. NO. 2G2. COLUMBUS, SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, 1889 TWELVE PAGES. HOWARD'S PANACEA. What He Would Do to Reduce Desertions from the Army to a Jliniraum. Secretary Proctor Thinks the Service Demands an Assistant in His Office. The Proposed Prosecntions by Civil-,. Service Commission. Washesgtoh, Nov. 1. The report of General O. O. Howard, commanding the division of the Atlantic, to the adjutant general for the year ended September 30. 18S9, calls attention, to the lack of armament of nearly all leacoast stations. "Our needs in this direction," ho says, "have been so . often ami recently reported by my predecessors that I deem it useless to more than call attention to the subject again, The time has undoubtedly come when some positive action in the matter of permanent defenses is demanded. "In this connection the subject of high explosives should be discussed." He calls aitention-to "Americanite," the invention of a young Russian, formerly botanist of the Point Barrow expedition, as the safest and best explosive the general knows of. 1 1 has been adopted by the Standard Oil company for "shooting" its wells. "With such a powerful agent the problem of coast defense is resolved almost into one of range, and our great seaboard cities can be made comparatively safe without excessive expenditure." On the subject of desertions General Howard says : "For the past four years the percentage of desertions in our army has increased - from 8 to V2 per cent., and this despite 1 earnest efforts made to discover the causes and apply the remedies.- Doubtless the causes are many, such as have been theoretically and (variously stated. It is scarcely possible to so adjust the workings of a military institution, necessarily autocratic, ' that each subordinate shall feel that its ethics and conduct are identical with those that govern in civil life. That desertions can ever be practically eliminated from the army without seriously impairing its efficiency I doubt, but this crime can and Should be greatly - reduced. It is my belief that in the majority of cases the reasons which cause men to desert are frivolous and are as varied as the different temperamentsrof the deserters. Were apprehension and pun- ! ishment made as certain for this offense - as for petty crimes in civil Hie, none but serious reasons would cause men to commit an act the result of which terminates in almost certain penal servitude. As it is the chances of punishments are altogether too few. I repeat my former recommendation for an increase in the reward offered for the apprehension of deserters and a change in the law which will enable at least all civil officers of the government, states and territory, to arrest and confine this class of offenders. To remove all real cause of discontent, shorten the first - term of enlistment to two or three ytars, and institute some system by which men in emergency may sever their connection with the service without dishonor to. themselves and with justice to the government. It ' might tte-yen io"lipiUve"Ttigraaon irr-' crease or at least give it more variety- though I believe the soldiers are well fed and little dissatisfaction arises from the poorness of food.y Assets and Liabilities of the Treasury.

L Secretary Proctor will renew the recommendation of his predecessors in his forthcoming annual re-p irt. that congress provide for the appointment of an assistant secretary of war. The department is one of the largest of the government, there being over 1500 employes in this city and over 11,000 throughout the country. At present, whenever the secretary leaves the city, the president designates an acting secretary of war, n -pally either General Schotield or the head of one of - the bureaus. It t ins happens in the latter case that some of the otlicers of the army are required to report to a subordinate and among them there is a fueling that they wouid ratnc.r have a civilian iu the office. In the pavy the preponderance of feeling is different". The officers of that arm ui tlie service, it is said, prefer to see the Ciuet of the bureau oi navigation, who is only a commodore, or even a captain, acting as secretary in the absence of the regularly appointed head of the department to having a civilian in the chair, and therefore oppose tbe suggestion that congress provide for the appointment of a permanent assistant secretary. It is said that this feeling among naval officers has bad sufficient influence with Secretary Tracy to eau.te him to change bis mind since he entered the office last March, whereas, then he was impressed with the necessity of having an assistant secretary, he will make no such a recommendation.

The secretary of the navy today awarded to Harrison Lor-ing of Boston the contract for constructing cruiser eleven of 2000 tons displacement for 1074.000, to be completed in two and one-half years from today. When the bids were opened at the department last Saturday, Mr. Loring and N. J. rainier of New York were tied and the delay in awarding the contract has been caused by the desire of tbe secretary to let them adjust the matter between them. As the other two cruisers, numbers nine and ten, were given to the Columbian iron-works of Baltimore there was but one left and it was necessary that the contract should be given to one party in order that there might be an individual responsibility. The question was settled this morning by the receipt of a letter signed by both bidders, stating that they had agreed that Mr. Lorinu should have the contract. The impression around the department is that the firms have reached an agreement whereby Loring will build the hull and Palmer &" Co. tbe machinery. But the latter will not be recognized by the government. They Want More Evidence. Washington, Nov. 1. Tbe question of the prosecution of persons connected with the sending of circulars requesting political contributions to officials of the departments at Washington was again considered by the civil-service commission at its meeting held for that purpose today. All the evidence of the alleged violations of the law already in possession of the commission was considered. Thecommis-sion is waiting for further evidence on the subject. Should this be forthcoming and the names of those receiving the circular be furnished to the commission, those persons will be brought before the commission and questioned concerning the same. Then, if the commission is satisfied that it has possession of enough evidence to warrant its bringing the case before the district attorney, that action will be taken. A Boom in Pensions. Washington, Nov. 1. Since Commissioner Banui took bold of the pension bureau there has been a rush of applications to the record and pension division of tbe war office for records in support of pension claims.

Damning: Evidence Adduced Against Martin Enrke, One of the Cronin Suspects. He is Positively Identified by Both of tbe Carlsons as the Man Who Eented Cottage. Several Dramatic Scenes in Court "With Luther Lafflin Mills. Chicago, Nov. 1. Martin McHale, carpet layer, was the first witness in the Cronin trial this morning. He testified that the carpet tought by "J. B. Simonds" in February last, was laid by him (the witness) ou the floor of a room at 117 Clark street. Tbe witness was then shown a piece of carpet, presumably from the Carlson cottage, and he identified it as identical in pattern with that which he laid in the Clark street room. After the shipping clerk, delivery man and other employes of Keveis had testified, the first important witness of the prosecution, Annie Carlson, was placed on the stand. The young woman began tier testimony very timidly. After a few questions she became so nervous that her replies were almost inaudible. It frequently became necessary for the court stenographer to repeatedly allude to the bareiy uttered sentences which leil irom her lips. The audience in the court-room, assuming that revelations of the most startling character were being made, craned their necks in the direction of the witness stand. The excitement became intense as Mr. .Mills put the next question. The witness then went on to state -how, on March 20. while she was at the Carlsons, a man came to rent the cottage which stood near the house. He said his sister was to keep house for him, and that he had some furniture he wanted to move in at once. He gave his name as Frank Williams. "Mrs. Carlson," asked tue lawyer, "do you see that stranger in the court room now?" Yes, sir." "Will you point himout to tbe jury?" "There he is" (pointing directly to Martin Burke). "Do you mean Martin Burke, that nun?" continued Mr. Mills, pointing to Burke again. "Yes," replied the witness, airti that ended her examination. Mr. Forrest then cross-examined the witness at great length, going into all the details of her movements and her visits to the Carlson house. She testified that she had never seen Burke from the day he entered the cottage until a few rinvs aco, when she came into the court-room for the purpose of identilying him. Yet she recognized h'tu immediately. His eyrs, hair and mouth, and his peculiar way" of looking, she said, made a great impression upon her, and she knew him at once. Mr. Forrest made the witness rook away from Burke and at the jury and then describe his features and the color of his hair. This she did. Mr. Forrest, for the defense, raised the question as to whether this testimony was applicable to any other one of the defendants except Burke. The court decided that that was a oues- riii which wouid have to be decided by the suusequeni aeveiopments ot the trial. Jonas Carlson, the owner of the cottage, was the next witness. He corroborated the testimony of his daughter-in-law about the stranger coming to rent the cottage. The witness then said: He asked nie if it was my house, as he wanted to rent it. I'told him yes. He said let me see the house, and we walked over to it and I took the keys and went up to the house with him. We entered by the back door and he looked around and said there were six rooms, "How much do you ask for it'" I said $12 a month. He said. "Can you take eleven 7" "No, I can not " I said. "I will give you the money now." he said. Then l.got the money and I gave him a receipt when we went back to the other house. Carlson went on toaay that the stranger, who gave tne name of Frank Wiiiiauis. said that he bad three brothers and his sistr was to come from Baltimore to keep house for tnein. He had bought the furniture and it would arrive in two or three days. The stranger then took the key. The witness said he had met and talked with O'Sullivan, one of the defendants, many limes. O'Sullivan lived in the immediate vicinity. At this point a recess was taken. - At the opening of the afternoon session Joseph L. Brouse, a photographer, took the witness stand and identified a photograph shown him as one taken by him. It was a picture of the Carlson cotlage and O'tfuiiivan's house and ice-house. It was placed in evidence. John C. McJJavitt, a clerk in the criminal court, identified a diagram made by him of the neighborhood of the Carlson cottage and of the cottage itself, the size and location of which rooms he described. It was admitted in evidence. Jonas Carlson was then recalled, and his testimony on behalf of the slate was continued. He said that the stranger, after renting the cottage, walked across lots to O'culiivan's stable, where he met O'Sullivan and talked with him. Witness heard Burke say to O'Sullivan, "The cottage is rented." Next time witness saw Burke was at about 5 o'clock on tlie afternoon of Mav 4. a few hours before Dr. Cronin was murdered. He stood on the front steps of the cottage. At 7 o,'ctock that night the witness heard two men talking in the cottage. They were talking "in a hard voice," as Carlson expressed lt.In April the witness had a conversation with O'Sullivan about the men who had rented the cottage. O'Sullivan told hini that he knew one "of the men, that he was "ail right" and that lie would pay the rent when due. Ou May 8 Carlson had another conversation with O. Sullivan, in which he told O'Sullivan that he knew the cottage was vacant. O'Sullivan remarked that he was having hard luck with his cottage. The letter spoken of and its envelope were identified. On May 20 the witness entered the bloodstained cottage, he said, and proceeded to describe tbe conditions there apparent. The examination o: this witness had been prosaic enough up to this point. It continued as follows: Q. How many times altogether did you see tbe man calling himself Frank Williams? A. Three limes. Q. That is iu the neighborhood of where you lived on Ashland "avenue? A. Only two times there. Q. You saw him once besides those two times? A. Y'es, sir. At this point in tbe examination Mr. Mills paused for a moment, as if realizing that a crisis in the examination was near at hand. Leaning slightly forward, he pnt the momentous question to the witness, "1 will ask you if you see that man now?" A sudden hush fell upon the court and in the midst of the profound silence which followed Mr. Mills's interrogation, the old man in tbe witness chair sat apparently unmoved, as the audience breathlessly awaited his answer. Slowly raising his head, the witness permitted his glance to travel first over the group of lawyers and reporters immediately at his feet and thence in a bewildered way to the back of the court, in an endeavor to pick out from those before him the man he wanted. Evidently fearful that his witness might be unable to identify the man sought iu the densely-packed court-room. Mr. Mills came to his assistance. Extending his hand he indii ated the back of the courtroom and inviwu tue witness to step down and pick out the man whom he wished to identify. ".Look bacs: of the lawyers, Mr. Carlson," said Mr. Mills as the old man advanced with a hesitating step and scanned the iaces ot the counsel for the de.euse. He had hardly uttered the words when the witness, walking straight up to the defendant. Martin Burke, shook his hat at him and exclaimed: "That's the man." Despite his utmost efforts to appear unconcerned it was evident that Burke realized the damaging nature of Mr. Carlson's testimony. Mr. "Mills was not slow to clinch his advantage. "Is that the man," asked Mr. Milis indicating Martin Burke, "who called himself Frank Williams?" "Yes, sir." said the witness promptly. John Garrety, a teamster, testified that about four years ago Coughlin wanted to see Major Samson ; that he wanted a man "slugged" or disfigured for life; if he was killed it would not make any difference. On cross-examination counsel for the defense sought to show that the witness had a grudge against Coughlin. He denied this. Court then adjourned till tomorrow. Burke Tells How the Doctor Met Bis Death. Chicago, Nov. 1. The Journal tonight says: A dispatch from Winnipeg states that Assistant State's Attorney Baker has obtained from Convict Gillette the story of the murder as told him by Burke. According to the story Gillette and Burke were frequently together in the Winnipeg jail, ana unaole to keep his secret Burke related it iu detail. Burke told him that the murder was committed by him (Burke), Dan Coughlin, Pat Cooney, a man of the name oi L't unis, and a man whoe nauie Gillette can not recall. Another man, employed by McGiimis, a fish and oys,)f man on West Pandolph street, near Clie Haymarket, was to have assisted in the murder, but he backed out. The deed wae done with clubs, and after the doctor was dead his face was pounded out of sliape to prevent recognition. The boily was taken to tbe lake, where the murdeiers expected to find a rowboat, but none was there and the body was thrown into the lake. The water was shallow and the waves washed it up on the beach. It was then decided to take it to a catch-basin, which was done. Burke said that the biood money was paid in a lump by an attorney having au office over Lazarus Silverman's bank. The mo-live ot the murder was the Defrayal of the order's secrets bv the doctor and his informing ou a man who was short in his ac-. counts. To a Journal reporter Mr. McGinnis professed himself ignorant of anybody working for him thai could possibly be connected ttiih the conspiracy unless it were Joseph Kouen, one ot me iuuicted jury bnbers. "He worked for me all last season," he added, "leaving the latter part of April. I never knew much about bim, hut inasmuch as he was in that crooked jury work 1 w..uid not be surprised if he were connected wilh tiie conspiracy." Ji d. e Longentcker laughed at the story. "Nolhiug in it," he said. "All that Gillette knows I have locked in my safe." "V hat's your story ?" "1 cau't led yet." "Is it like this one ?" "No." " V ill Gillette be brought here to testify ?" "No j we can't get huts.'' "Would you have him if you could ?" "Oh, possibly ; though he doesn't amount to mucu." Attorney Ingham declared the tale a wild and woolly one. He lor some time refused to believe that it had not been written in Chicago and publishedasadispatch. When assured that it came straight irum Winnipeg he said it reliecied credit on the imas-inaiiou of the correspondent, but that it bad no firmer foundation, 'i he Jury Briber" Driven Out ofBusiness. Chicago, Nov. 1. Sylvester E. Brown.J1 the business partner of M. S. ivu vanaupli, I oneoi t4Mueauudr indicloieut for trying to bribe the Cronin juiy, nas as&ed lor an accounting and dissolution of partnership. He also asks that a receiver be appointed to take charge of theiirm's affairs. Brown says the when , Ilia partner was arrested and indic oed for trying to "fix" tbe jury all tue contracts the firm had on hand we e canci ljd, and they have lound it to be i.-potsiule to make any contracts since on account, of the prejudice which the indictment of tne junior member of the firm has caused. Brown describes. his partner as a "surly, unsociable and desperate man," who would be likely to take reprisals on account of his action in bringing the suit unless restrained by the court. Judge Jamieson issued an injunction restraining Kavanaugh from collecting debts due the firm, or in any way interfering with its business. The matier of tbe appointment of a receiver was brought before Judge Jaruic3on today, but it was contiuutd uutil tomorrow morning. ' THANKSGIVING i'KOCi-AJIATION.

It appeared that every bell in Indianapolis was ringing this morning as the international American excursion train glided into tbe station. All of the party were in bed, but the clangor soon awakened them, and they were at the breakfast table when the reception committee, the mayor and other prominent citizens boarded the train. Boon after 9 o'clock the train was runout of town about five miles to the works of a large milling machine company, where an liour was spent in examining the machinery. . ' Aflcr the return to the city the party inspected ihe stale Caixiol, walked through a machine siiop, a tile kiiu and tinuily as driven to the hotel where the board of trade aud citizens of Indianapolis had fcoread a luncheon.

He had teen in Peru hen Spain had sought to fasten the shackles ou that country and his heart was glad as any Peruvian when tiie Spainish squadron retired. We have no room for European forces here; the United Stales would never allow Spain or any other country to attempt it, and they would follow in the footsteps of MhXimillian. Let it be arranged here on this hemisphere by an arbitration board that no lepubiic should go to war with a sister republic.

It seems the government of the United States had ulaced them in a position by this excursion such as enabled the delegates to go through the country, conducted by the car of liberty, gathering everywhere impressions which would be ineti'acable in their hea tsand which had been augmented and increased considerably upon arrival in this city where we have been received with such cordiality and heaitiness. It wouid be impossible lor me to say bow much we have seen aud contemplated everywhere, but what has tom-hed lue most deeply was that Lp3n i r ival here we were first taken to (he Cani.ol, the majesty of which we were enabled to contemplate, and then to the humble abode recently lelt by tue citizen who now occupies the presidential chair of tnis republic." Thomas II. Nelson, who had been in diplomatic missions in Spanish slates, biiefiy welcomed tbe visitors and assured Ihem that ttiey were now in a Slate that stood highest and first in all that constitutes the highest civilization. He referred to the growth of the Argentine liepubiic. and afUrmed that in Buenos Ayr. s was daily published more newspapers than in any otiier city in the world Loudon and New York not excepted. The speaker regarded tiie coming conference in its moral, social, business and commercial relations a the most important ever heid on this planet. Tho speaker wished to acknowl-ede.Uie part taken by President Harrison, and above all, James G.Blaine, in bringing about this congress, t Applause. Senor Zegarra of Pern spoke as follows: "We have been traveling and we felt confident that there was nothing more new or grand in store for us ou this trip, bnt when we came to Indianapolis we find how great our mistake was, and lind so many things to admire; such a just proportion between your great material improvements aud great qualities of the heart that we have to bow respectfully and gracefully before such a happy and prosperous community. The impressions we have experienced will be inefi'ueabie in our memory."Senor Alphonso, delegate from Chili, said that he was profoundly gratef ul for the Cordial and fraternal manner in which the delegates had been received. They had been treated as an elder sister would treat a younger one who locked to her for support and affection. He and his colleagues would never forget that in this laud of America they had been treated as Americans. Applause. Senor Velardo of Bolivia said that the great thought of American union was nothing but the consequence of lessons taught by nature itself. He hoped that the unity which nature bad realized would be realized commercially and socially, and in such a union of independence and profound allection among the nations of America as would make of them one whole bodv. Signor Casteliamos of Salvador invited all his colleagues to drink to the welfare1 and prosperity of Indiana. Signor i'erazi of Venezuela said he and his colleagues had been obliged, since beginning this trip, to change all previous conception of this country. In cotton-mills they had been told they could weave a belt to compass the world;, in a library they bad been told there were forty miles of shelves. "We can not conceive of such standards of measuring and we must learn anew." Laughter. Indiana, as a name, he believed covered all that typifies aud makes this republic great. Delegate Henderson spoke of the importance of establishing railroad communication with Central and South America, and again suggested that it might be done by land prants. Our Canadian friends were a Bttle jealous, but when we had completed this railroad they would ask to participate in the prosperity enjoyed by their Southern neighbors. This would unite the snows of the South with the snows of the North.
